War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Mi Xuan’s hatred toward Duan Ling Tian was far greater than his hatred for Feng Qing Yang. Duan Ling Tian had killed his brother, Great Master Miyan, in the past with the help of the Five Divine Elements. After that, Mi Xuan planned to snatch the Five Divine Elements away from Duan Ling Tian, but his plan failed. Later on, he had taken over the body of the Young Temple Master of the title Temple. As the first body he possessed, it was the only body that suited his soul. The bodies he possessed after that would never synchronize with his soul. Alas, that body was destroyed by Duan Ling Tian. Back when they were on the Nine Serenities Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian had defeated Mi Xuan because that place had restricted the use of soul energy. In the end, he could only flee in embarrassment. How could his hatred not be great when Duan Ling Tian had offended him so many times?

Many years had passed, and Mi Xuan had great success in the Land of the Dead. The Land of the Dead had been dominated by him, and yet, he still could not let go of his hatred toward Duan Ling Tian. Apart from that, he also coveted the Five Divine Elements in Duan Ling Tian’s body. He did not only hate Duan Ling Tian, but he was jealous of Duan Ling Tian as well for possessing all Five Divine Elements.

‘News of Feng Qing Yang’s return has spread. Apart from that, everyone also knows he had gone to the realm where the main Title Temple was located and killed everyone there, forcing Wu Hong Qing to flee. Duan Ling Tian will definitely return when he receives news of this…’ Mi Xuan thought to himself as he rested.

Soon after, an idea appeared in Mi Xuan’s mind, and he quickly sent a message.

When he left the Land of the Dead, he had brought a few people with him. These people were servants he had taken in over the years, and he had left his soul mark on them. Although they were just ordinary gods, they were very strong in the Devata Realms.

“Help me spread the news further….” Mi Xuan instructed his helpers.

“Yes, master!”

After receiving his helper’s replies, Mi Xuan opened his eyes briefly and looked at Meng Luo, Elder Huo, and the others before he closed his eyes again to rest.

Meng Luo and the others naturally did not dare to act rashly even if they were anxious.

…

Two days later.

Although Meng Luo, Elder Huo, and most of the others knew not to act rashly, one of them, a weak Celestial Emperor, could not endure it any longer and caved under the pressure. He volunteered to try and contact Duan Ling Tian so Elder Huo reluctantly gave him Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl. He teleported and reappeared outside of the range of the Formation in just a blink of an eye. Alas, just as he was about to contact Duan Ling Tian…

Swoosh!

A soul energy silently swept out like the wind.

When Mi Xuan opened his eyes, the Celestial Emperor widened his eyes before he fell to the ground and died.

“Don’t test my patience,” Mi Xuan said as he looked at Elder Huo and the others, “The next time someone leaves, I’ll kill him and the person next to him as well.”

Everyone’s expressions turned grim immediately. Alas, there was nothing they could do. Even if they could leave the Formation, they would not be alive for long to do anything else.

Meng Luo said to Elder Huo through Voice Transmission, “We’ve not heard from Lord Heavenly Emperor at all. It seems like he really did suppress Lord Heavenly Emperor’s soul. However, based on Lord Heavenly Emperor’s words before, he should be fine for the time being…”

Meng Luo was clearly trying to reassure himself with these words as well.

Elder Huo nodded. “I agree.”

“The Young Master isn’t in the Solitary Destructive Heaven… I hope he doesn’t receive the news of Lord Heavenly Emperor’s return. Otherwise, he’ll be in grave danger,” Meng Luo said, slightly worried.

“I hope so as well,” Elder Huo said with a bitter expression. Previously, he could not wait to see Duan Ling Tian again. However, he did not expect the Heavenly Emperor Palace would change owners in just a day. Although Feng Qing Yang did not die, his body had been taken over, and his soul was being suppressed. If Duan Ling Tian returned, there was a high chance that Duan Ling Tian would die, and Feng Qing Yang might be forced to kill Duan Ling Tian against his will.

Alas, there was nothing they could do. They were too weak. It would be as easy as killing an ant for the intermediate Lord of Gods who possessed Feng Qing Yang’s body to kill them. He could likely kill them with just a thought.

…

Duan Ling Tian was still in the Devata Realm near the mundane realm that the Destruction Divine Shuttle had brought him to. He was naturally unaware of the turmoil in the Heavenly Emperor Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

At this time, he finally found an inter-Devata Realm Transportation Formation, but he was stopped from using the Transportation Formation.

“The Mansion Master has banned the use of Transportation Formations in this area for a period of time,” a Celestial Lord said.

Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly. Then, he silently raised his hand before clenching it.

Energy began to converge before forming a huge palm seal in the air. Then, it fell on the people standing in Duan Ling Tian’s path.

The Celestial Lords and his subordinates were instantly pressed to the ground by Duan Ling Tian’s pam seal, creating human-shaped holes in the ground. Although Duan Ling Tian had shown mercy, all of them were still injured, spitting out blood.

Duan Ling Tian walked toward the Transportation Formation as the others in the surroundings watched silently. Needless to say, no one dared to stop him anymore.

It was not until Duan Ling Tian was transported away that the Celestial Lord reacted. “Who is he? He looks ordinary, but even a Celestial Emperor doesn’t have such means, right?”

The others were similarly frightened.

“Even the Mansion Master isn’t a match for him…”

Many people agreed with these words when they recalled the purple-clad young man’s move earlier.

…

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger was soon transported to the Transportation Formation near the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor Palace. He had used this Transportation Formation many times in the past.

“I’m back after so many years…”

Now that he was approaching the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Duan Ling Tian began to think about his master, Feng Qing Yang. When they first met, he had met his master’s doppelganger. At that time, Feng Qing Yang’s true body was still in the Asura Hell.

“I wonder if master has returned,” Duan Ling Tian wondered out loud as he brought out Elder Huo’s Soul Pearl from his spatial ring. He had given his doppelganger the spatial ring before sending it off on the Destruction Divine Shuttle. He had made all the necessary preparations and put the Soul Pearls of his family members and friends in the spatial ring. Initially, he had wanted to make copies of the Soul Pearls, but he knew the soul marks on the copies would not last long so he discarded the idea.

“Hm?”

Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows. Not only did he send a message to Elder Huo, but he had sent a message to Meng Luo as well. He found it strange that he did not receive a reply. The Soul Pearls were intact, indicating they were alive, so why did they not reply? After a while, he thought perhaps they were in closed-door cultivation.

“Forget it. Since I’m here, I’ll return to have a look…”

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian teleported to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived near the Heavenly Emperor Palace, he was shocked when he saw the state the Heavenly Emperor was in.

“Did the Title Temple destroy the Heavenly Emperor Palace?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately.

After Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang left the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Meng Luo, Elder Huo, and the others left the Heavenly Emperor Palace as well, leaving it empty. However, after the crisis was resolved, they should have returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace. However, the Heavenly Emperor Palace was now destroyed.

Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings with a dark expression on his face. It did not take long before he saw quite a few figures near the entrance of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

“Master? Elder Huo? Meng Luo?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. Without another thought, he teleported over. However, he soon discovered a Formation shrouding the place. He could tell it was not an offensive Formation.

He stopped in his tracks and began to wonder. Since Meng Luo and Elder Huo were here, why did they not respond to his messages?

‘Is it because of this Formation?’

As soon as this thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, a slightly surprised voice rang from the distance.

“Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to come so soon!”
